Sorry you didn't detect my sarcasm.
I o...Wes,<br /><br />Sorry you didn't detect my sarcasm.<br /><br />I of course would never want to start or participate in such a trial.<br /><br />As I'm sure you're aware, I depend upon those echoes to get me EFs 35% and less to generate my ICD volume and get the kids to private college. Do you know how much Northwestern's tuition costs???!!!<br /><br />JayJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10897176780069403370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18943510.post-7183337938878120882009-12-02T13:01:05.715-06:002009-12-02T13:01:05.715-06:00Great site.

After all, a stethoscope delivers very different information (structure as well as function) than an echocardiogram, obviously. <br /><br />I'd be happy to help you get that study comparing these technolgies off the ground, provided, of DrWeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17438019699222125477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18943510.post-18798539251050486422009-12-02T11:41:39.525-06:002009-12-02T11:41:39.525-06:00As someone who takes true pleasure in pointing out...As someone who takes true pleasure in pointing out industry bias and its effect on health care delivery, I find this post at least a little surprising. <br /><br />This is a $795 stethoscope with industry generated unsubstantiated claims. Where is the evidence that this could eliminate echoes? Your link takes us to an ad from 3M.
